Raul Cătinaș (born 4 August 1988) is a Romanian professional kickboxer. He is the former two-time K-1 World Grand Prix finalist (in 2010 and 2012). He was a contestant in the second series of Superkombat Fighting Championship and claimed the Superkombat World Grand Prix II 2012 heavyweight tournament by defeating Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Daniel Sam.[1]
He has won international heavyweight bouts over Stefan Leko, Mighty Mo, Paul Slowinski, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Dževad Poturak and Brice Guidon.
Thom Harinck described him as "perhaps the hardest white hitter in heavyweight history".[2]
He was set to make his kickboxing return in June 2020 after 4-year hiatus at GFC 7, but the event was postponed due to health and safety concerns brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.[3][4]
